Lockdown Level 3 brings slight ease on excercise

2020-05-27
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday evening announced that the whole of South Africa will enter Level 3 of the lockdown from 1 June, which will ease a number of the regulations, including excercise. Ramaphosa announced that the curfew, which restricted peoples movement between 8pm and 5am, would be lifted and that exercise, which was restricted to between 6am and 9am would now be allowed at any time of day, as long as people did not do so in groups. Sports facilities, entertainment venues and other public gathering places will remain closed under level 3 lockdown. The lowering of the alert level to 3 was based on a risk-adjusted approach that takes into account the level of infections and rate of transmission, the capacity of health facilities, the extent of the implementation of public health interventions and the economic and social impact of continued restrictions, the President said.
